This is the concluding part of the news letter:"Anyone found to be disposing of coal ash on their property, their neighbor's property, or the roads will be subject to significant fines from both the Monroe County Municipal Waste Management Authority Police and ALCA ." (Arrowhead Lake Assoc.) I called the County WM and they had no answer about restrictions or how to dispose coal ash, in fact they recommended that I go to the Hearth forum for some ideas.

I'd fly under the radar as much as possible. If they raise a fuss, thenjust bag it and trash it.I got a permit in 1970 for " general renovations". I've been generally renovatingever since. No problems.

Congratulations! You've just received the hardest lesson in Personal Sovereignty. Too Late Now.....Sooo,to me, I'd : 1.) STOP!.... 2.) Take a breath....Slow down..... 3.)Time to get "Tactical and Practical".... 4.) You're behind Enemy Lines,Act like it, Cease all highlighting of yourself by communicating with any of the listed Offending Authorites...Get Off The Radar Screen,even though it may be too late.... 5.) Find your Copy of that Offensive Association Master Agreement that came with your purchase in that Community. Also gather up any and all subsequent yearly Amendments to that Agreement,including this latest Whopper,and either go to your Attorney,or one that specializes in Land/Association tenets of Law. Get competent,actual advice.....6.)Make your decisions based on that Advice,Your Wife leaving You if You decide to get out of that ALGORE Yuppie Hellhole and move to your own Land with your own Governance,and the Great Possibility that you might take a huge financial hit if you decide to sell and move to where there is no"Ass-Ociation"....Just my hard-core opinions on Enclave's like this,and why to leave them....Good Luck,My Beleagured Friend. I Truly Wish You Well !

- let me clarify. I believe in propagandizing as much as possible with truthful pro-coal information, however, not to one's neighbors. Anyone that lives next to you, can create problems for you at your home, should NEVER know your business.

Unfortunately, good advice. I do tell my wood burners the positive things about coal though.
